This is a discussion on Bird Crap Blues within the Detailing Forum forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; A word of advice for all of you out there that are as obsessed with your paint as I am:
...

Whenever I get home each day I do a quick check for bird crap and other junk that might have stuck itself to my car. Then, I just spray it heavily with bug & tar remover and let it sit for a few minutes. Then wipe clean and spray the area with some detailing spray. Works for me Although, I have never had any so serious it messed up the paint??

Bug and tar remover is the best. Does the job.

EDIT: I think the people who have problems are the ones who wait for the bird crap to settle and then let the sun beat down on it and so on. You gotta catch it quick.

Problem is that most good bug and tar removers will also remove your wax. A good QD should be more than able to remove the poo and should actually add to the protection of the wax.

i never had a real problem with bird crap. ive had birds bomb my car....but no paint damage *knocks on wood*.

however the times i do...i stay away from that bug a tar stuff...it eats at the wax as others have said...i carry water bottles in my car...so i just pour some on .and get a rag to wipe it off..and when im near it ill pick up the detailing spray to finish it off..
